Untitled [head] 1955 - 1967

Richard Diebenkorn's Untitled [head] (1955-1967) is a charcoal drawing on paper depicting a close-up portrait of a person's face. The artist utilized a minimalist approach, focusing on the essential features of the human head, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. Diebenkorn was known for his use of line and form to create a sense of depth and volume. The piece reflects the artist's interest in exploring the human figure and its expression through a simplified aesthetic. The artwork's stark simplicity and raw emotionality make it a compelling example of Diebenkorn's early work.
